looks like the goji plant in this photo is being supported by sticks and perhaps a trellis of some sort. I've been wondering what the best means of support for my plants would be. They are so spindly. Can one prune them to eventually support themselves as a shrup?

Rosilinda, yes, the goji plant in the picture is supported by thin bamboo stakes. I do so in hopes that it will grow into sort of a decorating tree, but naturally goji plants are weeping shrubs. If you plant the plants just to get the berries for healthcare purposes, do some pruning regularly and then leave them alone, and thus you will get more berries. (for detailed info regarding how to care goji, search online).
hope43, when it is into late fall, my goji will have plenty of bright red berries with plenty of seed inside. By then you can contact me for it, but if you are itching to get a few of the seedlings I think, the best way is to find a nusery close to you which can provide you the plants.
Hope some of your questions have been answered.

You are welcome.
And see the two pots of my goji bonsai.
The one on the leftside, I took the big roots as the trunk, and at the same time, I planted upside down, thus creating a unique bonsai which is seen to bear lovely berries every year.
